The Precision Challenge in Smart Meter Assembly
The Precision Challenge in Smart Meter Assembly
Modern smart meters require flawless electrical contact crimping, sealant application, and component alignment. Manual pressure adjustments or fixed pneumatic systems often result in:
Inconsistent Crimping: Over/under-compressed terminals causing connectivity failures.
Downtime: Frequent recalibrations for multi-variant meter models.
Energy Waste: Compressors running at 100% capacity despite intermittent demand.
NNT Electric Pneumatic Regulator: A Turnkey Solution
1. ModBus-Driven Multi-Station Control
NNT's NITV Series integrates natively with ModBus RTU/TCP protocols, enabling:
Centralized Programming: Deploy pressure profiles for 32+ stations via a single PLC.
Real-Time Feedback: Monitor valve status, pressure, and diagnostics across stations.
Scalability: Add stations without rewiring—ideal for modular assembly lines.

2. Adaptive Pressure Regulation
Force Control: Maintain ±1 N crimping force via closed-loop feedback, even with component tolerances.
Quick-Change Profiles: Store 50+ recipes (e.g., 5A vs. 100A terminal crimping) for rapid model switching.
Anti-Overshoot Algorithm: Stabilize pressure in <50 ms during abrupt load changes.
3. Energy-Smart Operation
Demand-Based Airflow: Reduce idle consumption by 60% with sleep-mode activation.
Leak Detection: Auto-alert for >2% flow deviations, preventing wasted compressed air
